Can I use nutes with Molasses during flowering?

I just bought some unsulphered organic blackstrap molasses and am wondering if I can use it with the nutes? For nutes, I am currently on Fox Farms Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom. My plant is 4 weeks into flowering. Would it perhaps be better to stop all the nutes and just go with the molasses? Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

i am also interested, Im a week into bloom. I use botanicare pro bloom, and when they start to show flowers, Kool Bloom. I don't know if molasses is only for autoflowers, or if it can be used on top of nutes.

I use Molasses all the time with Flowering Nutes. It is an additive, it provides the Carbohydrates necessary for the plant to grow lovely buds. Do not stop the Nutes as Molasses does not have any NPK qualities..
I hope you have an EC/CF/PPM monitor as Molasses does spike ur nutrient level reading.

i feed both sometimes
molasses is primarily a soil treatment and not considered plant fertilizer
although molasses does have some nutrients
just make sure you keep the ratios correct, like 1tsp - 1tbsp molasses per gallon of pure H20
if ya know what I mean

I have used Mollases in a lot of configurations and will tell you the highest calling I have found for it is in conjunction with about your last five flushes prior to harvest. It will flat kill babies in veg. Doesnt seem to profit the bloomers when used as a supplement least as far as I can tell. If you just have to use it other than for flushing I would alternate like this..mollases one day...clear water flush the next..and back to nutes on day 3. Or whatever feeding schedule which has been established in case your a dirt dauber.

Ive been doin a good bit of research on molasses myself for my current situation. Id say youd be fine using your regular nutes along with the molasses. Its a carb loader and also contains various micronutrients that will even you plant out if necessary. End result should give you a little more weight/trich production. just my thoughts...

Bigwheel knows what time it is, I would follow his lead

Yes you can use 1 tablespoon per gallon with every other feeding
